- Clinical examinations
The dams of the compound group and the control dams showed no impairment to behaviour and General condition and survived until the scheduled study end. All dams in the compound group excreted black-discoloured faeces on at least eight days during and after the treatment period, mostly, however, in the period from day 8 - 19 of pregnancy. Blue-discoloured urine was voided by three dams from days 8 - 10 or days 8 - 11 of pregnancy. One dam from the compound group displayed pallor from day 8 - 11 of pregnancy. Compound solution escaped from the mouths of two dams after the 3rd and/or 4th administration, presumably due to the dosing method. The amounts, however, were small and without relevance for assessing the test compound. Local abdominal hair loss was noted in another dam from the compound group on days 20 and 21 of pregnancy.
The administration of C. I. Reactive Black 5 had no influence on the feed consumption of the dams. The dams consumed comparable amounts of feed to those of the controls both during and after the treatment period.
The body weight gain of the dams treated with C. I. Reactive Black 5 was likewise unaffected. The dams treated with the test compound gained in weight to the same extent as the controls.
Autopsy of the dams
The concluding autopsy revealed a marked dilatation of one renal pelvis in one dam each from the compound and control groups. No further alterations to the internal organs could be seen in the macroscopic examination.

- Details on maternal toxic effects:
- Examinations after caesarean section
All 20 dams in the compound group and 19 dams in the control group carried live conceptuses to term and were delivered by caesarean section. One control dam had no live foetuses, but merely 8 empty implantation sites in the uterus, indicating early embryonic death shortly after implantation. In this animal, the corpora lutea were quite small and could not therefore be determined exactly. The number of corpora lutea, which provides information on the number of ovulations prior to start of treatment, and the number of implants and live foetuses in the remaining dams of the compound group did not differ markedly from those of the control animals and lay in the range of our previous control values.

- Examination of foetuses
The live foetuses delivered in the compound group were normally developed. Their body weights and lengths did not differ from those of the control foetuses and lay in the range of our previous control values. The number of live foetuses weighing less than 3.0 g and thus qualifying according to our definition as slightly retarded or retarded was even lower than that of the control group. The sex ratio was relatively balanced in both groups: the males predominated slightly in the control group and the females predominated slightly in the compound group.
Dead embryofoetal primordia were found in both groups. They consisted exclusively of conceptuses undergoing resorption. These had died at a relatively early stage and exhibited diameters of up to 6.3 mm (compound group) or 6.6 mm (control group). Dead foetuses were not found in either of the two groups. The number of dead embryofoetal primordia in the dams of the compound group was low and did not differ from that of the control dams.
The placentas of the foetuses in the compound group were unremarkable macroscopically and in respect of their weights, which corresponded to those of the control group.
The findings observed at the morphological examination of the foetuses show that no malformations appeared in any foetus in the compound group. One control foetus exhibited a right-sided microphthalmia.
The autopsy and body cross-section examinations revealed blood in the pericardium or abdominal cavity, completely fused or bipartite pulmonary lobes or a haematoma in a liver lobe as well as a distention of one or both renal pelves or one ureter in individual or some foetuses. Furthermore, one foetus in the compound group displayed blood in the vicinity of the right kidney. Findings confined to individual foetuses in the control group were: blood in the thoracic cavity or in the right kidney and a stomach which was relatively large and tautly filled with fluid.
The skeletons of the foetuses in the compound group were at roughly the same stage of development as those of the control foetuses. Their stage of ossification corresponded to the 21st day of pregnancy. The number of foetuses in the substance-treated group displaying a poor or missing ossification of sternebrae, 5th metacarpal bone and the ossification of fewer than two caudal vertebral centres did not differ markedly from that of the control foetuses. The number of foetuses in which individual cranial bones were not-yet or only poorly ossified was, significantly increased compared to the simultaneous control group but still lay within the range of previous control values (maximum frequency 61.5 %).
Apart from these findings, individual or several foetuses in both groups exhibited longitudinally displaced, dislocated, fragmented sternebrae or waved and/or thickened ribs while numerous foetuses displayed an additional short rib anlage, uni- or bilaterally, at the 1st lumbar vertebra. In individual foetuses of the compound group, a dysplastic 10th or 11th and 12th thoracic vertebral centre or a 14th thoracic vertebra with a short, analogous rib pair were observed. Three foetuses in the control group showed an additional short rib, left- or both-sided, at the 7th cervical vertebra.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- No adverse effects were observed after daily administration of 1000 mg/kg/day in dams or their fetuses.
Maternal NOEL: 1000 mg/kg bw/day
Fetal NOEL: 1000 mg/kg bw/day - Executive summary:
In this limit test, the test substance, dissolved in distilled water, was administered orally by stomach tube in a single daily dose of 1000 mg/kg body weight to a group of 20 pregnant female Wistar rats from the 7th - 16th day of pregnancy. A simultaneous control group of the same size received the vehicle without test compound. On the 21st day of pregnancy, the dams were killed and delivered by caesarean section. The foetuses delivered by caesarean section were then examined morphologically for developmental disorders.
The study showed that the repeated oral administration of the test substance, at a dose of 1000 mg/kg body weight in the sensitive phase of organogenesis for the conceptuses, did not lead to any impairment of the general physical condition of the dams or impaired intrauterine development of conceptuses.
The morphological examination of the foetuses with regard to stage of development, outwardly detectable anomalies as well as anomalies of the internal organs and the skeleton showed no indication of an embryotoxic or teratogenic effect of the compound. The findings observed are to be regarded as spontaneous in origin.
On the basis of the results of this limit test, the “no observed adverse effect level” in rats following oral administration lies at 1000 mg/kg body weight/day or above with regard to maternal and embryofoetal toxicity and teratogenicity.
No teratogenic effect was observed.
